Bursts of relativistic electrons from Jupiter observed in interplanetary space with the time variation of the planetary rotation period

Abstract: Bursts of Jovian electrons in the energy range 3-30 MeV have been detected to distances of the order of ! AU from the planet. The duration of each burst was about 2-3 days, and the maximum intensity increased with increasing distance from the sun. These events could not be correlated with known solar activity. The conclusion that these electrons originated at Jupiter and were accelerated within the Jovian magnetosphere is based on the following observations of three of these bursts. (1) The power spectrum of t… Show more

“…The Jovian electron bursts recorded on Pioneer 10 result from the inward propagation of low ~igidity particles along interplanetary fields (Chenette, et al 1974, Teegarden, et al 1974, Smith, et al 1975. The supercoherent mode does not apply here, but quasi-coherent propagation into converging fields is predicted by equation (57), for relatively weak focusing, and by the pseudodiffusive idealization, for strong focusing.…”

“…This makes Jovian electrons very interesting and nonredundant with solar flare electrons for the modeling of interplanetary propagation. Jovian electron studies resulted in the first strong observational evidence for a diffusive transport of electrons perpendicular to the mean heliospheric magnetic field (Chenette, Conlon, & Simpson 1974;Hamilton & Simpson 1979).Galactic cosmic ray electrons.-At distances beyond 10 AU in the ecliptic, Galactic cosmic ray (GCR) electrons are the dominant population . …”
